Two Global FoodTech Recognitions, One Direction for RAWGA

Earlier this year, RAWGA was recognized on two global foodtech stages—each highlighting innovation from a different perspective.
At the FoodTech Innovation Awards 2026 in Bilbao, RAWGA was selected as a finalist for the La Vega Innova Award for the Most Innovative Startup, bringing attention to VC-H1 and our plant-based approach to collagen innovation.
In the same month, RAWGA was also named a 2026 THRIVE FoodTech Rising Star by SVG Ventures | THRIVE, a program recognizing emerging companies with strong innovation and growth potential.
What stands out to us is not simply the two recognitions themselves, but what they have in common.
Both reflect growing interest in how new technologies, science, and more sustainable approaches can shape the future of functional ingredients.
For RAWGA, these recognitions are another signal that the direction we are pursuing with VC-H1 and naturally derived functional ingredients is reaching a broader global audience.
We will continue turning that attention into meaningful conversations, partnerships, and opportunities in the global market.
What kind of innovation do you think will shape the next generation of functional ingredients?
